No, really? [Jan. 19th, 2007|11:09 am]
What American accent do you have?
Your Result: North Central
 

"North Central" is what professional linguists call the Minnesota accent. If you saw "Fargo" you probably didn't think the characters sounded very out of the ordinary. Outsiders probably mistake you for a Canadian a lot.

40% Reaver too. So I guess instead of a nice chianti and fava beans, I settle for a case of Molson, and beans and franks.

When technologies collide [Sep. 22nd, 2006|02:25 pm]
I'm experimenting with the Jabber interface for LJ, which is how this entry was posted (but not edited). FAQ here, thanks [info]da_lj. Something else to thank [info]da_lj for. Because of his recent post, I now have the stupid Katamari theme song stuck in my head. :-P

My pirate name is:

So, not to toot my own horn or anything, but if you're wondering where all my posts are, they're over on my own website, http://trig.net/~chris/blosxom.pl.

If you're feeling lazy, which I often am, you could instead add the syndicated LJ feed [info]elbie_at_trig

Update:
I should point out that I didn't syndicate my blog. As a non-paying LJ user, I don't think I can. I have [info]da_lj to thank for that, I think.  Thanks!

It's fairly right on, but I'm a bit offended that I've been assigned a rather basic element.

C...Carbon
You scored 32 Mass, 39 Electronegativity, 37 Metal, and 0 Radioactivity!

Nobody understands you... no, not even organic chemists. The social
individualist. You like your attention... but not TOO MUCH attention.
You are able to form incredibly close relationships with many
individuals, but you don't really get along with preexisting groups.
You value equality in relationships, and don't deal well with overly
submissive or demanding people. Well, whatever... thanks for making
life possible... oh, and cut the global warming out.



My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

This was just too perfect not to share:

are probably happier than any other cats on the

Poking about. [Dec. 8th, 2004|10:31 am]
[mood |Vaguely tired]

Okay, so I've been wandering around LJ looking about, and paying closer attention to the journals of various folk I know on LJ.

So far, it's pretty cool. It's a decent enough interface, once I figure out what everything does. And there are plenty of little things that are nice touches. For example, if I'm looking at someone's userinfo, names will show up in bold on their friend list if they are also on my friend list.

I was feeling particularly narcissistic, mostly because I didn't show up as bold on my friends' friends lists, so I added myself to my own friend list to see what would happen. By gum, it worked!

[music |Peter Gabriel, Up]

Okay. So here's the LJ thing. I'm doing what a few people are doing, which is getting an account mostly so that I can play nice with other folks' blogs on LJ. I'll probably have a few posts here and there too.
